Days Inn New Orleans

Where do I begin… let’s see this place was horrible! When we first got to the room the shower head was missing, the walls look as if my niece had painted it. We called up front and the worker moved us to another room. Well this room was no better. The order was horrible. It smelled like old cigarettes and ass. The shower head was also missing out of that room. My friend flew to the front office to report it. We got a third room. Well one of our friends went to shower. The rest if us walked out the room to go get some things out the car. When we came back our friend was yelling at the top of his lungs, rolling on the floor. He said, there was a lizard in the shower. The lizard came out and everyone ran out the room. It was horrible. The guy that worked there acted like it was nothing to him. He told the front office it was small and he could hold it in his hand. People beware and don’t stay here!!!

My husband and I are heading to Mississippi where he is being stationed. But since my birthday was one of our travel days, and I’ve never been to New Orleans, we decided to stay for two nights.
Cons: there was a hole on the wall behind the door. A couch was pushed up against another door to prevent people from the next room from coming into our room. No coffee, but coffee maker? Outlet on one side of the bed was pulled out of the wall.
Pros: Late night check in (we drove in around 11:30 pm), free breakfast (but limited in options: toast with jam or butter, yogurt, two types of cereal, and oatmeal), and… pool looks nice I guess. Fluffy pillows? Staff is friendly though.
We got the deal through trivago, but you definitely pay for what you get (which isn’t a lot).

A Really disgusting Hotel, we had cockroaches in the room, staff is not able to find solutions. Rooms were not cleaned until 15.00pm. Never ever again!

I had a reservation at this hotel which was guaranteed through a credit card. I arrived at this hotel at around 1:30 AM, and, the hotel staff told me they were doing the «nightly audit» process, and I’d have to wait until 2:15 AM to even get a room key. They wanted me to wait outside in my car in 40 degree weather for another 45 minutes. Apparently, you can’t get a hotel room key for the 90 minute «nightly-​audit» process, between the hours of 12:45 AM and 2:15 AM. They didn’t even let me wait inside the lobby (for security reasons, probably because this is a bad neighborhood). Furthermore, through the shouting-​conversation through the conversation hole through the glass, they said that since I didn’t show up by midnight, they already canceled my reservation, and at 2:15, they could then look up what the new rate was, which was not guaranteed to be the same as my contracted rate. I didn’t want to wait 45 minutes in the cold in the bad neighborhood, so I left and went to another hotel. The hotel staff said that I wouldn’t get charged for a «no-​show» fee.
When reserving this hotel over the days inn website, I didn’t see any warning that I had to show up by 12 midnight or my reservation would get canceled. The website even explicitly says that a late arrival is guaranteed with a credit card, which is what I used. There was also no warning that i can’t get a room key between the hours of 12:45 AM and 2:15 AM.
Although the hotel staff was not polite about the issue, I don’t really blame her. The blame really goes to the management for these policies.
